Number 9 froze up during Christmas break one year, while being stored in the thawing shed at the transloader. When the employees returned to work they did not know that there had been a power outage while they were gone. This unit in the thawing shed where it normally would have been kept warm, froze and lost it's water. When the power came back on, the water melted and dried so everything looked normal. Normal operations resumed, the engine overheated and ruined it's crank shaft. Sadly it was not repaired.
